Broncos land WR KJ Hamler in 3rd round of 2020 NFL mock draft

The Broncos land Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler in the third round of this 2020 NFL mock draft.

Luke Easterling’s latest three-round 2020 NFL mock draft has the Denver Broncos selecting Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler in the third round.

Hamler (5-9, 176 pounds) has caught 98 passes for 1,658 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He has also rushed for 87 yards and another score.

If selected by Denver, Hamler would become the second Nittany Lions wide receiver on the Broncos’ wide receiver, joining DaeSean Hamilton. Denver selected Hamilton in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft.

In addition to selecting Hamler, the Broncos also select defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw, offensive tackle Trey Adams, linebacker Jacob Philips and cornerback Damon Arnette in Easterling’s latest mock draft.

Denver is projected to receive three compensatory selections from the NFL this offseason, which would bring the Broncos’ total number of draft picks to 12. Denver general manager John Elway will have seven selections to work with in the first four rounds of the draft, including the 15th overall pick.

Penn State WR KJ Hamler declares for 2020 NFL draft

Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler is leaving school early to enter the 2020 NFL draft

One of the most exciting wide receiver prospects in the country is making the early jump to the pro ranks.

Penn State’s KJ Hamler has decided to forego his remaining eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL draft. He announced his decision via Twitter on New Years Eve, just days after the Nittany Lions defeated Memphis in the Cotton Bowl.

An exciting play-maker that’s electric with the ball in his hands, Hamler is widely considered as a top-10 receiver in what’s shaping up to be a very deep class. He should be a lock to hear his name called on Day 2 at the latest.

Prediction

Penn State 31, Indiana 24

Moneyline (ML)

Penn State (-834) is going to bounce back and return to the win column. However, it won’t be a rout, and the Nittany Lions are certainly not worth putting up more than eight times the return. If anything, Indiana (+440) would be worth a small-unit bet to more than quadruple your lettuce.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Penn State to win would return a profit of $1.20.

Against the Spread (ATS)

INDIANA (+14.5, -115) is a sharp play catching more than two touchdowns in this one. If you were to tease it up and combine it with a handful of other games, even better. It will be interesting to see how Penn State (-14.5, -106) rebounds. Its defense was bludgeoned by a team which wasn’t getting very much respect in Minnesota. Now against the Hoosiers, that sounds all too familiar.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total (54.5) is going to be super close. Avoid playing the O/U in this one, as Vegas has this right and the game will come in right around the projected total.
